Global trade is undergoing a profound transformation driven by the accelerating wave of digitalization and artificial intelligence (Al). Far beyond its initial applications in manufacturing and logistics, Al now reshapes the very foundations of international trade-from strategic export planning and credit evaluation to digital platform governance and supply chain optimization. This book aims to provide a comprehensive and interdisciplinary perspective on the evolving role of Al in global commerce. Each chapter explores how Al-based systems generate competitive advantages, mitigate uncertainties, and redefine decision-making processes in an increasingly complex trade environment. Covering seven interrelated dimensions-from strategic export planning under trade wars to Al-based credit scoring, digital marketplace governance, and the impact of Al-driven digitalization on logistics performance-integrates theoretical insights with empirical findings. It is designed to serve as a reference for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners seeking to understand and operationalize Al in international trade contexts. Ultimately, this book argues that Al is not merely a technological innovation but a transformative force that reconfigures the structures, institutions, and strategies that shape the global trading system.
